A few different ways to do this:
Way #1:
The current in the series loop is (12 V) / (total resistance) .
(Turns out to be 2 Amperes, but the question isn't asking for that.)
In a series loop, the current is the same at every point, so it's
the same current through each resistor.
The power dissipated by a resistor is (current)² · (resistance),
and the current is the same everywhere in the circuit, so the
smallest resistance will dissipate the least power. That's R1 .
And by the way, it's not "drawing" the most power. It's dissipating it.
Way #2:
Another expression for the power dissipated by a resistance is
(voltage across the resistance)² / (resistance) .
In a series loop, the voltage across each resistor is
[ (individual resistance) / (total resistance ] x battery voltage.
So the power dissipated by each resistor is
(individual resistance)² x [(battery voltage) / (total resistance)²]
This expression is smallest for the smallest individual resistance.
(The other two quantities are the same for each individual resistor.)
So again, the least power is dissipated by the smallest individual resistance.
That's R1 .
Way #3: (Einstein's way)
If we sat back and relaxed for a minute, stared at the ceiling, let our minds
wander, puffed gently on our pipe, and just daydreamed about this question
for a minute or two, we might have easily guessed at the answer.
===> When you wire up a battery and a light bulb in series, the part
that dissipates power, and gets so hot that it radiates heat and light, is
the light bulb (some resistance), not the wire (very small resistance).
You haven't told us what the passing percentage is on the exam,
or what the passing percentage is for the semester, or any of that.
Answer:
40hz has less frequency of sound and 300hz has more frequency of sound which means 40hz has less crest and troughs , so it has less reachability thank 300hz.
Explanation:
The sun is just one of the uncountable stars in the universe, as there are more than billions of galaxies containing billions of stars.
Answer:
Explanation:
it is a vector as it has a magnitude and a direction. If it was a scalar quantity it would just have a magnitude and would be 45 m. Acceleration is an example of a vector quantity
